Some GOP governors blasted health care reform last week, saying that it would result in crippling costs to states. But an analysis released last week by the Kansas Health Policy Authority concluded that the proposed reforms could save Kansas up to $50 million per year.

The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the reform bills could extend coverage to up to 240,000 uninsured Kansans.
